Alexander Stephens Clay.
President Roosevelt once said
that he thought mote ot Senator
Clay than any Democrat in Dixie
and there are many in the north
and throughout the whole country
that thiuk about him as Roosevelt
thought. In Georgia, he was the
idol of the people and, for over a
quarter of a century, was given
every honor and preferment that
he sought. He never met defeat,
nor was ever rebuked by the'" peo¬
ple. If clean hands, a pure heart
and a strong mind make true great¬
ness, Senator Clay was truly a
great man, for he possessed them
all. It is a fact, and it will not
he denied, that many of our Geor
gia congressmen and senators be
eoine more or less dissipated in
Washington Not, so with Clay.
No living man can lay his bunds
on a single indiscreet act of his
during his long service in the
greatest law making body of the
world.
If lie thought a thing right, he
did it regardless of consequences
Governor Brown lives in Marietta
hut Senator Clay. honestly
believed Hoke Smith the right
man to he governor and he worked
for Smith. Just so in all his other
political acts or otherwise.
In Marietta and in Cobh county
he will be missed the more, for it
was here, where his acquaintances
knew him best and loved him
most. Some one may .fill his place
in the Senate, but there is no one
to take his place 111 Cobb county.
He Needs Bread
(-Copied from a lending North
Dakota newspaper )
“It is reported that one of the
fastidious newly married ladies of
this town kneads bread with her
gloves on This incident may be
Bomewhat peculiar—but there are
others.
The editor needs bread with his
shoes on ; he needs bread with his
shirt on; he need bread with his
pants on ; and unless some of the
delinquent subscribers of this
“Old Rag of Freedom” pony up
before long, he will need bread
without a d—n thing on—and
North Dakota is no Garden of
Eden in the winter time.”
Forsyth Real Estate.
The first lot of the Cabaniss
place. 55 ft front, next to Dr.
Elrod, live blocks from the public
square, has b a en sold to Judge
Fletcher for $1000.
The Advertiser has been telling
you that Forsyth property is ad¬
vancing. Here is the proof. And
what’s more, Judge Fletcher has
gotten a bargain.
Mr. B. Luutz has bought the
corner lot facing the Barnesville
road.

W e are glad to know the county I
board of education intends to build
a school house for Forsy th. Every ,
other school district in Monroe this j
county has a school house hut
city audit is indeed surpiisngi
tbut Lius important matter has so
long been neglected.
Every district in the county gets
back in school m^uey its own taxes
and a part of Forsyth’s taxes,
whil e the folks get back in school
money less than they pay in taxes
and besides have been content to
send our children to an old abau
doued depot, used as a school house
and rented at that and for which
good rent is paid. It isn’t right,
and the city of Forsyth ought not
longer to stand for it.
We have been informed that a
certain citizen is seeking to be a
member of the county hoard of
education at hands ot February
grand jury on the ground that he
opposes a school house for Forsyth
My 1 My! How can a good citizen
(and he is a good citizen) aspire
to office a platform like this one?
What would Georgia think of
Monroe county, it the county
authorities had erected nice milit a
court houses iu every district in
Hie county and, during all these
years, been content to rent an old
depot for our county court house?
That’s just how Forsyth’s been
treated about a school house.
Rent an old depot for a school
house in a district, with approxi¬
mately $1,000,000 taxable proper
tv while good school buildings
have been built in every other
district. Is this fair? If this is
wlittt the McMichael bill means,
it would be a good plan to abolish
this law and give us cheap taxes
Give Forsyth justice. That’e
all that any good citizen of the
town claims.
We simply don’t like it that
this beautfful city with its fine ar¬
tesian water electric lights, water
works and sewerage, good churches
superb public school system, the
home of Bessse Tift and the finest
climate on earth, should have to
depend on an old depot for a school
house.
Not Sorry For Blunder.
“If my friends hadn’t blundered in
thinking I was a doomed victim of con¬
sumption, I might not be alive now,”
writes I). T. Sanders, of Harrodsburg,
Ky., but for years they saw every at¬
tempt to cure a lung-racking cough
fail. At last I tried Dr. King’s New
Discovery. .The effect was wonderful.
It soon stopped the cough and I am
now in better health than I have had
for years. This wonderful life-saver is
an unrivaled reined v for coughs, eolds,
lagrippe, asthma, croup, hemorrhages,
whooping cough or weak lungs.5CK', $1

kidneys. If the
child urinates too often, if the urine scalds
the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an
age when it should be able to control the
passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet¬
ting, depend upon it, the cause of the diffi¬
culty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of
the kidneys and bladder and not to a
habit as most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made miser¬
able with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
